WATER-BOWL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 16, 1919. Serial No. 304,496.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY L. FERRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Harvard, in the county of McHenry and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in ater-Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in water bowls and is fully described andexplained in the specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved device; Fig. 2 is a top plan; Fig. 3 is a rear elevation; Fig. t is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 of Fig. 4.

Referring to the drawings, 6 is a water supply pipe, 7 is a vertical member threaded on the pipe 6 and provided with opposite extending vertical flanges 8, a horizontal tubular extension 9 and a vertical valvecontaining portion 10 provided at its upper end with a transverse boss 11 to which is pivoted between its ends a valve-operating member 12 by contact with which water is turned on. 13 is a nipple entering the lower end of the valve-containing portion 10 provided with a valve 14 having a stem 15 and a spring 16 by which the valve is normally held closed. The valve stem is secured to a yoke 18, the upper ends of which are engaged with rearward extensions 19 upon the' flanges 8. By this means the bowl is firmly held in position and yet can readily be re-' moved when desired for emptying and cleaning.

I realize that considerable variation is possible in the details of the construction herein shown, and I do not intend to limit myself thereto, except as pointed out in the following claims, in which it is my intention to claim all the novelty inherent in the device as broadly as is permitted by the state of the art.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In combination a water supply pipe, a vertical member secured thereto and provided with laterally extending flanges, a valve-operating device and a water bowl within which the valve-operating device lies and provided with parallel channeled flanges embracing the flanges on the vertical member and having a transversely movable pin adapted to engage a notch on one of said flanges to hold the bowl in position.

2. In combination a water supply pipe, a vertical member threaded thereon, a valve, a valve-operating device, a water bowl within which the valve-operating device lies, the water bowl being removably secured to the vertical member by mutually engaging flanges and channel upon the bowl and vertical member and locking means for preventing longitudinal movement of the bowl upon said member.

3. In combination a water supply pipe, a

vertical member threaded thereto, avalve controlling the flow of water from said vertical member, a valve-operating device, a bowl within which the valve-operating device lies, the vertical member having oppositely extending vertical flanges and the bowl having, oppositely extending opposing channeled flanges engaging over the first named flanges and. having also a trans" versely movable locking pin passed through one of said channeled flanges and engaging with the flange on the vertical member.

4. In combination a water supply pipe, a vertical tubular member threaded thereto, a valve and valve stem containing portion integral with the vertical member and connected therewith by a horizontal connection, a. valve in the lower end of a valve-containing portion, a valve operating device pivoted between its ends at the upper end of the valve-containing portion and having hooked rear ends and a yoke hooked over said rear ends and engaging the lower end of the valve to open the same upon depression of the valve-operating device. I

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this fifth day of June,

HENRY -L. FER-BIS. [L.S.]
